Cocktails with Cloves
Description
Cloves are aromatic flower buds from the clove tree, historically traded as a valuable spice in Europe and Asia. In cocktails, they are used to infuse syrups, spirits, and bitters, adding warmth and depth. Cloves are also used as garnishes for mulled drinks or in punch recipes. Store them in a cool, airtight container away from sunlight to maintain their potency. Crushing cloves releases more aroma and flavor.
Taste
Warm, spicy, slightly sweet.
Usage
Infuse syrups or spirits, or garnish warm and spiced cocktails. Adds aromatic complexity to punches and hot drinks.
